Could we not just post trash Twitter from trash people? It adds nothing to any discussion.
Some things (most things, I'd argue) aren't worth sharing.
But I think it's going to suffer from GIGO. There's simply too little data, and now that we're backing away from testing, it's going to remain that way.
It does give a better appreciation of just how massive the problem is, though.

Terrifying and fascinating at the same time.

Excuse me, sir, some of us avoid cable news like the plague.
We spend too much time on Twitter.
Is there a dashboard just for US, or is that the global one you're using?
Which is why we do sort of need Biden to get out there and comment on the situation because the media will actually do the work for him and repeatedly cover whatever he says about it where nobody cares at all if Schumer gets into it with Collins
Just the global map (it used to only track by state for the US, but now it does by county). You can get the official link here, or just go to covidtracker.com for now.
Powerful "this is a Wendy's" energy here.
what the fuck are Republicans, misguided angels?
Seriously. Although I don't see anyone covering Bernie's videos on TV. Hopefully they will with Biden.
Nobody actually cares what Biden says. If he did interviews on 5 networks, people would still ask where Biden's been for the last week.
Really need to stop worrying so much on what someone's approvals are right now. The situation is extremely fluid and will remain so for awhile. It's practically useless.
Disconnecting from the normal political fixes has been great for my overall mental health during this. There are so many other better things to focus your time on right now.

A live look at NC Democratic candidate for US Senate - Cal Cunningham:
The mapping conventions all these orgs, and media, are using - with the ever-enlarging circles overlaid on maps - reminds me more of the global thermonuclear strike scenarios from media and movies of the early-to-mid-'80s. The size of the diameters of the circles themselves, representing the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in an area, have no geographic coverage correlation the underlying land mass: areas outside a circle also have coronavirus cases.
We also now have sidebars on media broadcasts and videos showing the number of cases and deaths.
The combination of the maps and live counts, on all the time, is sure to soothe people's nerves.

Unironically yes. It's where the White Working Class obsession comes from. People can never just be racist assholes, they always have to be "tricked" and "they're ready to accept class consciousness THIS time!"
I wonder what happened to Imani after she left Balloon Juice. She got a lot of shit at that place, from what I was told. She always seemed smart and passionate
Some of yall are worried too much about optics.
Right now. I don't want to see Pelosi or Schumer constantly in front of a camera. They should be negotiating and giving us updates which they have been. They can't MAKE the new or media do anything.

So the reason things are bad this time w/ negotiations miiiiiight be that Pelosi passed a messaging bill while leaving actual negotiation to Schumer.
While this likely will lead to more effective messaging it's probably got a big tradeoff due to swapping Pelosi for Schumer.
You wait a lifetime for an angel
Demons tearing you apart
Consequences of betrayal
In the end, you break your own heart
Pelosi is out there hawking her own checks. Everyone wants checks. We
Ephermal Fantasia was a game on PS2 and it was BAD
It really is amazing how Trump's approval is only creeping up and up since Charlottesville. First he would hover in the high 30s, then around 40, now he is in low to mid 40s constantly. By the end of the term he will be in the mid to high 40s.
That's my worry too. I just think we could have hundreds of mini Wacos on our hands, along with full blown looting if there isn't some sense that things are under control fairly soon.
Violently Bored Americans Begin Looting Puzzle Stores
NORTHWOOD, NH—Isolated and desperate for a fun new hobby or pastime in the face of social-distancing measures implemented to fight Covid-19, hysterical mobs of violently bored citizens have begun looting puzzle stores across the country, sources confirmed Friday. “People were grabbing up the...

If looters and rioters don't keep their 6 feet of distance then what the fuck was this all for
Every-time my cameras go off at my house I'm afraid. Luckily I live a 5 minute drive away from work, but still.
You guys are overestimating the impact of hour by hour political news cycles. We're in uncharted territory, but I think the Democrats are reading this better than the GOP:
Being blamed for shaving off another 500 or 1,000 points from the Dow for another day or two isn't going to matter to the average person. I think the Democrats have learned from the 2009 stimulus bill that it doesn't matter if they look bipartisan or not if things are shit during a Republican President, Republicans are blamed, and the same went for Obama and the Democrats in 2009-2010, especially if the stimulus bill does little to address actual Americans and their livelihoods.
It's honestly just better to do the right thing and fight for what you believe in. This isn't going to be the last stimulus bill. This thing is going to dominate the rest of the 2020 election and beyond, and there are going to be countless pieces of legislation that are going to be fought over and be called "THE ONE, the most important one".

My brother brought this point up when I was talking to him. Lots of bored, out of work white men with access to booze and guns with no sports to watch is not a good combination.
if we had half the propaganda apparatus they do, it certainly would be trotting out that line
Uh oh, they're going to announce an investigation into the oranges of the coronavirus, and whatever it had to do with Hillary.
What is even the benefit of dragging Barr out here to the briefing?
